“A United States Air Force RB-47 aircraft from the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, was shot down by a Soviet MiG fighter when operating in international airspace over the Barents Sea in July of1960. Four individuals of the six man crew were killed. Copilot Bruce Olmstead and navigator Captain John R. McKone were accused of spying and held by the Russians for seven months. On January 24, 1961, they were returned to the United States, and I '11 bet they never did that again!”
